Supply List
Learners will need to install Scratch Jr. (via the links provided depending on your device) prior to the first class. The instructor will be using Chrome to share with students, so this is the recommended extension if available to your learner.

Parents will need to help learners with how to share their screen in Zoom and use the mute and start video buttons during our first class or prior to class to help each learner be successful.
